{Paper Love Crafts} Cute Tissue Tealight
Lace tealight: a quick + easy valentine gift.
- Clear votive holders (michaels: $1)
- Tealight candles
- Modge Podge
- Brush for glue
- Lace doilies
- Small box of matches
- Various sheets of patterned paper
- Ribbon/twine
- Printable PDF tags
1) Cut paper to fit size of the votive holder. spread modge podge
evenly on candle holder and wrap paper evenly around.
2) Modgepodge lace doily over paper on votive holder.
3) Cut a small piece of paper that will wrap around the matchbox. Use modgepodge glue to wrap the matchbox.
5) Insert votive into candle, place matchbox on top and tie both items together with ribbon or twine. Don’t forget to attach the gift tag!
An alternative idea is to build your own slightly-larger matchbox that fits the candle inside it, sort of like a little kit 
Use this pdf template to build a larger 3″ x .75″ matchbox. Inside, I placed the candle and wrapped five or six matches with baker’s twine, but you can include whatever other little surprises in your matchbox! I decorated with paper lace and fabric butterfies (martha stewart: michaels)
